ASTORGA


Pilgrims and Merlin in same shop


ASTORGA is a really lovely place on the camino.  Lots of Pilgrims around and shops doing a good trade in boots.   The cathedral is based (like many around here) on the one at Santiago and is huge for the size of the town.



It is overshadowed by the fairytale palace, now a museum, designed by Gaudi.  It looks as if it stepped out of a fairytale like many of his wonderful buildings.


Gaudi's Bishops Palace

The town itself is lovely and small.
